Trophy & Awards Business moves to downtown

Downtown Piqua’s newest business is a trophy and awards business that expanded its Vandalia operations to better service its Miami and Shelby county customers.  Gauntlet Awards opened its doors in early November and is located at 327 N. Main Street. 

The company was established in 1975 in Vandalia by Robert and Carole Hendrey but purchased by Steven and Beverly Gall, the present owners, in June 2005.  Since then the company has expanded and invested in itself and now Gauntlet Awards has the in-house cutting edge technology that allows them to do laser and rotary engraving as well as sublimation and sandblasting. 

Gauntlet Awards in downtown Piqua is managed by Phyllis Bell.  The company offers a full line of awards as well as numerous other customized promotional items including crystal awards, acrylic awards, clocks, plaques, trophies, medals, medallions, ribbons, name badges, lapel pins, pet I.D. tags, event promotions, advertising specialties, printing, employee recognition gifts, corporate logo apparel, thank you gifts, holiday gifts, trade show displays and giveaways, in-Store promotions, glass ware, apparel programs, baseball caps, school spirit items, jackets, golf shirts, embroidered items, T-shirts, banners, signs, logo and creative design, corporate identity, laser engraving, rotary engraving, sandblasting, silk screening, cast bronze tablets, sublimation, and much more!

In addition to the cutting edge technology and huge variety of offerings Gauntlet Awards also sets itself apart in another way.  The company has trained, professional sales consultants that can visit customers in their place of business – essentially bringing the showroom to their office, school or business.  The Piqua location is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.  For more information call them at 773-3000 or stop by and see them at 327 N. Main Street.
